the second officer uf the government ex

We have seen the most slavish submiss

We have seen it officially announced that
the President graciously \iermiU his Cabin
ot to enteHain llioir own opinions on some

set iu opposition to his own dotorminntion.

President: his increasing ability lo svietd fills every itllc Ilnur, opens to tllO
and direct the Whole power of the nation,
and the change that such a state ot thing* is
bringing about in tlto political condition of
-no people.
With less of tip snrvieo than many who
make louder pretensions, no ono feels a
more devoted attachment to, a more hoart-
ttining interest in Ihe cause of true Repub
lienuism than we do. We h«ve grown hp
enthusiastically attached to the democratic
institutions of our country: full of - hope in
thoir success and zoat iu their soppert.—
This hope may bo cloaded by the folly end
depravity of party,—bill that zeal can nev-
or be quenched but with the extinction of
life. We ask ourselves, then, how is it
possible for men professing to act for their
country to be blind to the dangerous inno-
v-tiioiis which we have mentioned? How
c in they shat their eyes to the alarming
facts which we have referud to? How can
thev be insensible to the insecurity of out
present riiaarion? We lOavo it to (lipm to
answer -those qnostfons. If not responded
to now, they m iy be hereafter, wl'-"i, the
more open and disguised uss.aulls oj power
upon the citadel ot freedom itself, shall
bring them to remember that tho warders
upon the watch tower have not ceased lo
give the alarm and uroclsim the danger.
If the fear of numbers Oi the dread of ad-
verso popularity, in such a Case, influences
-any m m to join the one Or bend lo Ihe oth
er, lie -lost injustice to himself and his
country' and mav hereafter repent of ins

Tub Porui.vrtJN or tub United
States.-—The Boston Jotiruul hns some
iik cresting suggestions on this subject, de
rived front the last Q.iaiterly Register.
Tile grimiest population to n square mile
is in the District ol Columbit, where it is
3')3 ; in Connecticut, 63 ; in Rhode Island,
72; Mossachasous, 81 i Maryland and New
Jo sey, 40 ; Ohio 24; New York, 41;
(‘ousylvania, 30.
The population of Naw York in 1840,
it is supposed, will be 2,500,000, or 200,-
000 more than that ol all Now F.ngluod,
and about equal to that ol all tho North
Western Territories. That of Pensylv.i-.
nit is rated at 1,700,000; of Ohio, 1,300,-
0.10. That of Virgiuia is put at a tew
ihousuid more. Add thus the oldest set
tled ol the States, wuich iu J 799 had a
population of 747,000, will have been over
taken by u stuie winch bad no government
of any kind until oue year before that date,
did not become a stale ontil 1802, and had
iu 1790 u population of only 3000. Indeed
Ohio has tho resources wnhiu itself fur
growioginto thegie.test St.tool the Union.
It can support a people at dense as mat uf
Holland.
Ohio contains but 39,000 square mi lot,
while Virginia contain* 64,000, which it
within 1000 of the whole area ot New Eng
land, aod mike* Virginia tbo largest as
wull as the oldest State. The next iu or
der is Georgia 62,000 aad Mtsouri 60,000.
Illinois conn ins jj.OOJ, Floaida 50,000
Now York 46,000, Pensylvama 44,000,
North Carohua dud Louisaua 48,000 each.
Doiawaro-coutains 5,100, aud Rhode Isiaud
1,350.
'Aio mill rapid increase of pO|iuk>tion
we observe is iu the case of Ohio, winch
mereaaed irom 3,000 to 45,000 in Iff years,
ani in tbj uexl 10, to 240,000. ■ 'Puis Iasi
was al the rate ol 40J p-.v.coot. iii ten years,
whereas ihe .venue rate of the whole Uo
iniml a constant source of occupa
tion, wakes up the slumbering po
wers, anti unveils to our astonish
ment idol worlds: secures its from
limitation and sensuality: and exalts
us io the scale of human being*.
When I pass by the grog shop, and
hear thcidlc]dupute anil vulgar sing:
when face tbe cart rolled along lil
ted with intoxicated youth* singing
and shouting as they g>; when I
discover the hint sailing down the
river, where you c.io hear the iiiflu i
ence of whiskey by the noise which
it makes, I cannot hut ask—were,
those people taught to read? Was
there no social library to which they
could have access? Did the .[never
know the calm satisfaction of taking
an improving Voiding by d peace.fu
fireside? Or did they ever taste
the luxury of i ©proving the mind?
You hardly ever knew the young
man wlto loves h>s home and hi
book, that was vicious. Knowl
edge is often 'he poor man’s wealih
It is & treasure no thief'can steal,
no moth nor rust can corrupt. By
it you tarn his cottage to a palace,
and you give a treasure which is
improving—can never be lost.
»* The pie Yman,” -.ay-. Hubert Hall,
who lias gained a taste of goot*
hooks; and when you have give
the |Hior a habit of thinking, y
have conferred on him a much gre
ter favor than by the gift of a Ur,
sum of moneyy since you have p
into their possession the prinrip
of all legitimate prosperity.”
Nor is it to thfe poor alone tlia
this remark^ applies. Tho ric’
need occupation. Their hearts a
often like seas, which/Stagnata nil
der a breathless atmosphere, putrify
for the want of a wav#,- Bmploy-
ment, roused by some noble object,
is the secret of happiness: and of
all employments, the mental labor
lasts the longest. The body soo
tires, bat the mind divine in its ori
gin, and immortal in its destiny,
pursues its labors with transient
pausings; and' rises, from every
check with fresh vigor to continu
its eternal flight. Whata beatifu
picture does Cicero give of the se
cret happiness Ids studies opener
to him! “ i on will not blame me,
respected Judges, at least yon will
pardon me,if, while some are hur
ried iu business, sqme keeping hol
iday, some pursuing pleasures, and
some, giving their hour to sleep,
while oue tosses the javelin, and
another the dice-lmx, / should
steal a little time fur the recollection
of my studies and. the improvement
of my mind.’’ Yes, lie loves these
things better than recreation; to
him they were more profitable tjian
business, anil’ sweeter tiiaii steep.
